Well, one reason was to make things more manageable... The full TEI spec is 1400 pages long! I certainly don't want to support everything in there. TEI-Lite, which is much more manageable, also leaves out a couple little things that we decided we needed. We also do a couple things a little differently that base TEI. (The <lb /> markup for a force line break comes to mind here.) For a more technical reason, I leave it to Marcello to answer.

There is an ongoing effort to move to a master XML format, but instead of DocBook, we've tentatively chosen TEI (or rather, more specifically, a subset of TEI).

If you'd like more information about it, please see this website: http://www.gutenberg.org/tei/

Why did you make your own DTD ? Instead of using the standard TEI one ?
